After seeing Kelly on all the news channels, it seems like it’s just regular old “man-splaining”. He’s telling us how HE felt when it happened to HIM and therefore, that’s the only way all of us should also feel. :roll It seems like we should each be entitled to our own feelings AND the feelings of a soldier’s WIFE would be different than those of a soldier’s FATHER. But, alas we must bow to General Kelly. :roll

Just saw tonight (but haven’t confirmed) that President Obama may have called Kelly’s son’s wife – the widow – after his son was killed in action. If true, it’s another blow to Kelly’s so-called reputation as a man of honor.

Your tweet is absolutely spot-on, JO’B! Today, contrary to the way he has been portrayed by the mainstream media pundits, Gen. John Kelly revealed to me that he is not a man of character and integrity. He came across as just another of Trump’s sycophants who would do anything, including demeaning themselves, just to protect Trump. He is indeeed “reveling in” being part of Trump’s trusted inner circle. He may be a Marine Four-Star-General, but he had absolutely no shame in viciously attacking a black Congresswoman who dared expose Trump’s callousness and disrespect of a widow of a service man who was KIA.

Sadly, I agree with your well-chosen words, nath. If you didn’t catch Lawrence O’Donnell’s segment last night (where he said kelly – whom I didn’t fully listen to, my choice – called the Congresswoman “an empty barrel” – OMG), please watch it for the “full grasp” of that former general’s racism. Kelly’s gonna rot in hell with the rest of ’em, and we don’t have to lower ourselves even wishing that on them. They earned the darkest parts of hell.

Yep. He told everyone repeatedly last year. If all registered democrats had listened and voted for HRC, we would be living in very different times. Hard to do anything when the horse has escaped the barn through the door that we left open. Hard, but not impossible. 2018 midterms will be the receipts for all of the talking, protesting, marching etc.

President Barack Obama is so, so stupendous. We Love Him so much. What the heck did we DO to deserve this man, this tour de force who worked 24/7 for eight years to make life better? Rain or shine – he kept on ploughing through the filthy dirty mire that is GOPKOCH.

“Don’t sit this one out!” said PBO.
Right now the MSN headline is: “White Nationalist Accuses Florida Protest of Stifling Free Speech.”
Can you believe THAT’s the headline after Neo-Nazi Spencer spoke. Why wasn’t the headline “Floridians Stand Up To Hate”. ??
Who paid who?

After the end of PBO’s mind blowing performance as the greatest statesman America always wanted but had never had, all the other side
could do is drop way, way far down into the depths of hell and try to drag us with them. They’d like us to forget the last 8 years but we won’t. Republicans want a chaotic Third World country where they can do whatever the hell they want. And Trump is playing his part by turning everything into a food fight so there’s no order, no rule, no protocol, no norms. So what’s he got going for him. He’s well effed in the head, with
no compass, no heart, and no future. Tickety tock.

SO GOOD TO SEE OUR LAST REAL PRESIDENT WITH REAL VALUES AT THE PODIUM…HE IS SO MISSED!..TICKETY TOCK…THESE TRUMP FOLLOWERS HAVE CHOSEN THE DARK SIDE OF THE SUN…THEY’LL ENJOY NOT HAVING ANY LIGHTS ON..THINKING THEY CAN HIDE THEIR DECEITFUL AGENDA…I KNOW I HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE THEM…IF THEY LOVE HATRED..THEY WILL WALLOW IN IT..THEY ARE A DIFFERENT KIND OF ANIMAL..IN FACT I HAVE SEEN ANIMALS ACT ALOT BETTER………MY HEALTH IS REALLY FAILING..SO I DON’T PROMISE TOMORROWS ANYMORE…..

Rachel speaking of the inexplicable reasons why the US govt banned Chad people from travelling to the US – Chad then withdrew from Niger where they were fighting ISIS – just a week before 4 Americans were killed in Niger.

Then we discover Exxon Mobil (run by the current S of S) owes billions to Chad because of royalty arguments.

100% of this administration is based on payback to anyone who dared to argue with the current members of same and/or didn’t allow them to rape and pillage all and any resources. Don’t believe that Tillerson will resign any time soon – same goes for Kelly – they are all bred from the same seed.

Lawrence O’Donnell is responding to Kelly’s calling the Congresswoman “empty barrel”. Kelly may appear amiable but is nothing but Trump’s front man handler for those with sensitive tolerance for political correctness. Kelly is there to make Trump’s vulgarity palatable to those with little appetite for roughness or brashness. I was never in the camp of those praising Kelly as the savior of the Trump administration.

My simple rule. If you are wiling to ‘serve’ this pos, you too are a pos. Zero redemption for those who are in this corruptest regime of any time any where, including those ‘catholic leaders’, who shamelessly posed for a photo op with the scum.

THIS!!!!! Lawrence is the only one who had the guts to defend Ms Wilson. The remainder of MSM is totally ignoring how Kelley denigrated Congresswoman Wilson. Kelly should have stop talking after he talked about losing his son.

You’re stunned? Were you stunned when @realDonaldTrump used Gold Star families to lie and take a shot at Obama? When he attack the Khans?When he mocked John McCain’s service? Mocked the handicapped? Bragged about sexual assault?Refused to denounce the KKK? We were, sir. Deeply. https://t.co/wBcMEzZin6

Any respect I might have had for Gen. Kelly is gone. Yes I have sympathy he lost his son, but the attack on the Congresswoman was a disgrace, and calling Trump brave is alot of bull shit. It stuns me that a man who everyone has such high regards for would stoop so low with that speech. Maybe the empty barrel is Gen. Kelly.

Indeed, bella. I echo everything you and others have said. LOD knocked it out of the park tonight. Supported by the facts that they both grew up in same area of Boston. Liked how LOD tied all that together to lend lots of credibility.

******NW, THANK YOU for this thread and all the tweets. Had to miss PO because tonight was our district Dem meeting. Wonderfully refreshing to read all those tweets. Like old times! 🙂 🙂

Speaking of our district meeting. We had a room full, overflowing, in fact. Five or six new folks. Lots of good things going on. We are making a difference. Our speaker was a (young) woman who is running for the seat that John Duncan is retiring from. What a dynamo!
